How to dowse for gold

Dowsing for gold is a popular application for this simple, natural skill. However, because dowsing is used in this instance for something of potentially great value, there is some confusion around it when there need not be.

Those who go dowsing for gold are often easy game for those who want to sell them expensive dowsing rods. Usually such rods are described as being of the correct length or have some special feature to help them tune in to gold more accurately.

What most people don’t want to admit, however, is that dowsing for gold is no different from dowsing for your lost car keys or which item to order from a menu. But, because it’s gold, that precious stuff which is so highly valued, a lot of people wrongly assume that they should be doing something special or different in order to find the stuff.

Not true!

Dowsing is dowsing, no matter what the target. And that means that the same basic principles for any type of dowsing should be followed when dowsing for gold.

That means that in order to find gold, you need to have a really precise question in mind and then you have to be in the right mental state of relaxed attention to allow the answer to come to you. It’s never the tool which tells you. It’s only your reaction, causing the tool to move, which is the essence of dowsing.

The question is the most important thing in all types of dowsing. It’s no different in dowsing for gold. You’ll presumably know what you are after, so really you’re framing a question about the location or the depth or the overall quantity. Whatever is your primary goal, that’s the question you have to form. Avoid the vague question like, “Is there gold here?” because there may well be but it might be one tiny grain six feet deep.

You can dowse for gold over a map and search for the most likely places to examine on foot. Again, you need a specific question. We map-dowsed for some clients who wanted to know which areas they should pan for gold in to produce sufficient quantities for them to feel successful. They followed our suggestions and had a successful season. Map dowsing is just another way of using this skill and we have a video on how you can map dowse. Click the link here.

The one thing to remember above all else is that no matter what you are using dowsing for; whether it’s for gold, for oil, for your choice of vitamins, dowsing is the same. And, what the people who want to sell you expensive dowsing tools won’t say is that you don’t actually need any tools at all. Of course, if you like tools, then you can make your own and adjust it to be exactly as you want it to be.

My step mom and dad showed me how to do this for GOLD. My question is this– why do I hit on some and She doesn’t ? There are times that we BOTH hit on it but I seem to hit more than she does and she has been doing it for a few years now. Thank you

I’m not sure there’s one simple reason for what you say. From what you say, you have actually dug up or found the gold? That’s the only way you’d know if either or both of you were correct.
If you found it and she didn’t, then perhaps the geological formations were different from those where she is successful. Or, she could have simply lost focus when dowsing. Maybe you want to find it more than she does.
It could also be that different types of gold are more difficult for one of you. Placer gold compared to gold bullion for example.
But if you’re both as good as each other in general, then you must be doing very nicely with everything you’ve found. Keep up the good work!!

there are so many methods of dowsing but the first thing you have to understand is that there hve to be an affinitive conection between you and your dowsing rods , coz this is why we always have different results from diferent people on the same area to be surveid ,

you have to understand that when you dowse you ought to know what exactly you looking for

There are several points I’d like to address here. First, you don’t have to have a rod or tool of any kind to dowse. Also, the main reason for different results by different people at the same place is mainly due to the fact that few people have actually been taught how to dowse well. It has nothing to do with what your relationship is with the tool you use but a lot to do with how you have been taught to dowse (and so many haven’t been taught!).
Also, to dowse accurately, every dowser needs to have a clear focus on the question. Without that it’s no more than lucky dip. Read our book, ‘The Dowsing State’ for more details.
As for the ‘many methods’ of dowsing, that’s really more about different techniques. The only method is to have a clear focus, get in the right state of mind and know the answer when it appears. It is nothing more than a way of answering questions your rational mind cannot answer.
